Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall non - electrolyte definition
Non - electrolytes do not dissociate into ions in solution. NaCl, $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, and KOH are ionic compounds that dissociate. $H_2O_2$ is a covalent compound and does not dissociate into ions in solution.
Step2: Analyze solution - forming pairs
Like dissolves like. Benzene and hexane are both non - polar hydrocarbons and will form a solution. Ionic compounds ($Na_2SO_4$, NaCl) are polar and do not dissolve in non - polar hexane or benzene. Water and $CCl_4$ are polar and non - polar respectively and do not form a solution.
Step3: Calculate volume/volume percent
The formula for volume/volume percent ($v/v$) is $\text{%}(v/v)=\frac{V_{solute}}{V_{solution}}\times100%$. The volume of solute (ethanol) is $V_{ethanol}=238\ mL$ and the volume of solution is $V_{solution}=238 + 569=807\ mL$. So $\text{%}(v/v)=\frac{238}{807}\times100%\approx29.5%$.
Step4: Calculate molarity
The formula for molarity ($M$) is $M=\frac{n}{V}$, where $n$ is the number of moles of solute and $V$ is the volume of solution in liters. Given $n = 3.09$ moles and $V=1.50\ L$, then $M=\frac{3.09}{1.50}=2.06\ M$.
Step5: Use dilution formula
The dilution formula is $C_1V_1 = C_2V_2$. Let $C_1 = 5.25%$, $V_1$ be the volume we want to find, $C_2=0.175%$, and $V_2 = 250\ mL$. Then $V_1=\frac{C_2V_2}{C_1}=\frac{0.175%\times250\ mL}{5.25%}=8.3\ mL$.
